Vintage Fluxite soldering paste tin, made in England during the interwar period. Used in mechanical, electrical, and boiler-making workshops, it contained a flux paste intended to facilitate soldering operations on most metals. Its colorful decoration depicting the brand's famous devilish character has become one of the most recognizable British industrial advertising visuals of the 20th century. The instructions for use printed on the bottom further enhance its documentary interest.
